Both machines and people are required as core elements of the next generation infrastructures. The Internet of Things will be anticipated by an Advanced Mobility phase where mobile phones are equipped with sensors.

Bruce Sterling defined a spime as: SPIME = SPace + tIME A new category of objects aware of their surroundings. (SPACE) POSITION: GPS (TIME) MEMORY: Local + Cloud COMMUNICATION: Near Field + Internet SENSES: Hardware sensors

What is WideNoise?

Noise is pollution as well. An often ignored form of pollution. We live surrounded We are accustomed Still, we feel relieved by all kinds of sound to this continuous when that stressful around us. background noise. noise disappears.

WideNoise helps you better understand the soundscape around you.

How is WideNoise designed?

CORE DESIGN DRIVERS: Ergonomy Green Social Simplicity

Ergonomy Appealing, but not too much to harm the results. Reporting UI calibrated Reading UI designed to minimize “test” to be nice and to aid behavior and fake comprehension of results. noise.

Simplicity Everything happens at the push of a button. Noise GPS analysis Location Cloud Social uploading sharing Seems simple... because it’s designed to be simple.

Each sound level is represented as a symbolic noise emitter: 10db 20db 30db 40db 50db 60db 70db 80db 90db 100db 110db 120db Nobody knows how much noise is “65db”, but everyone knows the noise level of a TV!

What is the platform?

WideNoise is a spime: it’s based on the next generation computing paradigm. Platform Order of PCs ~ 108 Mobiles ~ Humans ~ 109 Spimes > 1010

A platform optimized for extremely large sensor networks and massive data collection, supporting distributed parallel data processing.
